The episode opens with a brief history of Legend Quest Park. The creator of the fantasy theme park gave it to his eldest grand-daughter, causing the younger one to rebel and become an evil witch. The park has hired VPC to shoot all of their videos after they spend one day in the park and prove their worth.
Although Zona is worried about the park's sketchy waivers, the park's owner Lady Violet gets everyone in VPC to sign them. Violet sends them on a quest to retrieve her silver locket from her sister, the evil Witch. Just as VPC starts this quest, Zona trips on a tiny, tiny stick and breaks her leg. The rest of VPC decides to leave Zona behind, rationalizing that their quest will heal her.
The Witch visits Zona and tricks her into revealing her friend's location and weaknesses. Ryan and Devin meet a Princess and Troll and they respectively fall in love, at least during a musical number. Owen and Micah continue their quest with the goal of getting enough money to afford their prized most possession: a Sofa Boombox.

!!Tropes in this episode include:
* AgonyOfTheFeet: Zona trips on a tiny stick and breaks her leg, leading VPC to abandon her as they pursue their quest. Zona's broken leg is then a RunningGag throughout the episode.
* ContinuityNod: The Witch mentions Zona's "skin thing", which was first mentioned in "[[Recap/FreelancersS2E5DoodlesChips Doodles Chip]]".
* CreatorCameo: Jeremy Warner, who directed this episode and many of the previous episodes, voices the opening narration. He also appears as the shirtless man in the background of VPC's video for Legend Quest Park.
* GrapesOfLuxury: Owen eats grapes while lounging on Sofa Boombox.
* InvoluntaryDance: The Witch bribes Micah with an endless party, which forces him to dance with the mystical creatures of Legend Quest Park.

* MakeOutKids: Devin and the Troll start making out in the middle of their love song, annoying Ryan who asks them to wait for the end of the song.
* MeaningfulEcho: The Witch tells Zona she learned to value people over things. [[spoiler:Zona repeats this after destroying the silver locket.]]
* MusicalEpisode: Part-time employees of Legend Quest Park have to burst into song every five minutes, so this episode has
* NoMacGuffinNoWinner: [[spoiler:Zona destroys the silver locket which they had been questing for, which apparently had a flash drive with the park owner's family fortune in Bitcoin.]]
* NoOSHACompliance: Implied. Lady Violet shreds some OSHA reports.
* SettingOffSong: The first musical number, led by Lady Violet to get VPC to sign some sketchy waivers, is about how great adventure is while ignoring workplace safety measures.
* OurTrollsAreDifferent: Blarg the troll is a humanoid who spawned from parental fungus. Devin herself says she's one sixteenth troll.
* RunningGag: Ryan's heart problems. Ryan says he has aorta problems at the beginning of the episode. During a musical number he sings that he doesn't need health insurance because the woods will be his heart medicine. In the musical love song Ryan sings that the princess makes his heart beat normally.
* ShoutOut:
** Ryan wonders if they'll meet ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' in Legend Quest Park.
** The lyrics in the song Devin sings to the Troll mirror the song "I'm a Believer" in ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}''.
--->'''Devin:''' I thought love was fictional, quaint and unoriginal, but then I saw your troll butt, then I was like, I get it.
* TheSmartOneTurnsTraitor: Zona helps the Witch trap her friends because she'll do pretty much anything to get a good grade.
* StockPunishment: The Witch uses this to trap Owen, combined with TickleTorture.
* StorybookOpening: The episode opens with a storybook explaining the origin of Legend Quest Park, though it turns out the storybook animation is part of a part-time employee orientation video.
* TickleTorture: After the Witch traps Owen in a StockPunishment, she orders the mystical creature folk to tickle Owen.
* TitleDrop: Lady Violet sings, "Our plan will surely fail if she lures you off the trail, so this is your test, you're starting your legend quest." The Witch mirrors these lyrics in her song to Zona.
* TrickedIntoSigning: Zona at first refuses to sign the park's abusive waivers, but a musical number from Lady Violet and pressure from her friends get her to sign one.
* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: Upon meeting Lady Violet, Owen tells her, "M'lady, forsooth privy and wherefore." Violet is not impressed.
